Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo is a very potent fat burner that is making waves these days among health and fitness buffs and among people who frequent the gym on a regular basis. However just like any food supplement or substances that we take inside our bodies, there are side effects of Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo.

So before you go to a health and fitness store and purchase yourself gallons of this fat burner supplement, I think it would be wise to read this first and know what to expect side effects of Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo.

Palpitations

The Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo accomplishes fat reduction by increasing your metabolism. The difference of Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo from other fat burning agents is that, instead of utilizing the digestive system to increase metabolism, it utilizes the cardiovascular system mainly the heart to accomplish its goal. Unfortunately, a common cause of this is an increased heart rate or if the body is not able to adapt - palpitations. That is why this is not a safe weight loss option for those with heart conditions and other heart related problems. And be sure to take only the prescribed doses of Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo.

High Blood Pressure

Since there is an increase pumping of the heart, cardiac output and input is also increased thereby increasing the blood pressure levels as well. So obviously those who are suffering from increased levels of blood pressure cannot take this supplement without any consent from his or her doctor. Doing so may jeopardize one's health and wellness.

Visual Disturbances

This side effect occurs when there is continuous elevation of the blood pressure levels. The occipital lobe of the brain, the part which houses the nerve ending for your optic nerve, is very sensitive to blood pressure changes, that is why when your blood pressure becomes too low or too high you experience visual disturbances like blurring or doubling of vision. Nausea and vomiting may also follow or occur with these visual disturbances.

Erectile Dysfunction

This is unfortunately a bad news for men and gay men. This is also due to the persistent elevation of blood pressure levels. The erection of the penis largely depends on the blood supply that comes to it. When there is elevated blood pressure, too much blood supply is sent to the penis, causing it to be desensitized to erection and erection related stimulants. Not a very cool side effect if you ask me and the boys.
